Today i got up at 7a.m. to start bringing the fuel tank down and out to see if i can fix the leak it has. Has anyone attempted this before here? If not i'll be more than happy to do a write up on how to do it.

Well, today i got my fuel tank back and it looks better than ever. If anything is certain, when i finish this car, im going to enjoy to the fullest. Never has a car ever made me work so hard or sweat so much. I thought taking the tank out was hard, but putting it back was a bigger pain. But its back in already!

its the same bumper from the first picture! i sanded it down to hell myself!!! i hate when people take shortcuts fixing up a bumper, since the car is black, every little nick and scratch that it had, the previous owner just put black electric tape over it. dried and burned on to the bumper, took a lot of time to sand them off.

Damn it's just that mine is cracked in two places...  The metal tab that has the 3 screws to hold it up to the fender are gone as well, and the underside plastic for the bumper is gone. Aside from that, mine only needs deep sanding, filling, welding a piece of metal to fix a rust hole in the hatch and that's about it...Main issue is the bumper, and it seems to me like the headlights rest on a piece of metal. mine isn't attached properly so my right headlight is leaning downwards. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
